Repeating Land Laws.

Washington Special: Congressman Strait
has been made a member Of the confer
ence committee on the bill repeating the
presumption, timber culture and desert
land laws in place of Mr.. Payson; Cobb
and Stone of Missouri are the other con
ferrees IN the part Of the house. The
conference of the two houses met yester-
day and a two hours talk over the bill, but
came to no conclusion. Cobb was obdu-
rate, wanting everything and willing to
concede nothing The senate committee
is satisfied that its bill is the just one, and
there seems to be no likelihood of any
agreement.

Luxurious Living i'm Calcutta.

Sometimes you fondlv imagine s..st
people live IN the lap of luxury n
America; but Americans have no idea
OF the extreme to which luxury may be
carried. When I say luxury I have il
mind personal help.essness, acquired
by long and diligent study. The pal

rather too p%retentious title Of "City OF
Palaces" r spacious, square, fat
rooted structures, usually built OF
brick, plastered without. They are
plentifully supplied with broad bal.
comics, are screened from the gaze of
the common herd" and made prison.
hkel'by thick high walls in front, and
all their furniture and appointments
are adapted to the climate. There arc
punkahs which coolies keep swinging
whenever the state OF the weather
makes it a comfort.
Think of sleeping with a punkaa
waving over you all night, operated by
. tireless %coolie, as many of the wealthy
people in Calcutta do.
Soft-footed Hindoos move noiselessly
along the marble floors, their spide1
limbs concealed in respectable sirongs.
Every want is attended to before you
can get a chance to help yourself. Even
if it is so small thing as putting on
your hot or slippers, opening an um.
brella, or washing Oh dressing in the
morning, there is a polite attendant
waiting at your side to assist. Tc
an American this multiplicity o.
servants is at first q nuisance.
He feels that he might at least be per
mitted to make his own toilet in

to the climate, and he at length passes
into a languid, dreamy state of &C

For spring, the nice days and Henley's Suits,
Pants and Spring Overcoats. The grandest,
the most stylish and the cheapest, consistent
with the quality, that ever came into this
or any other town or county in this part of
the state. My lowest prices on pants for
this season will be 800. If you want a
pair of pants for less than 81, 60 to the
ready made clothing house, where you will
get better pair than any tailor can furnish
you for less then that money. My
highest priced pants are S1400. Come and
look at the goods. Do not be bulldozed into
the belief that you can get anything that is
first class for less than il is worth. Tailor
ing is no exception to the rule. A man that
is capable of doing first class work cannot
and will not work for less than his labor is
worth. Bear that an mind. On the other
hand, man that is not able to do first class
work must work for low price, else he will
not get any thing TO do. The people of Paw
Paw were long pestered with cheap tailors.
Do not encourage them any more. The
world is advancing in every art and science:
the people around us are progressing in all
that tends to make sweet to man the burdens
of life itself, and bear iB mind that nowhere
are those strides more manifest than at

Jay has taken it upon himself to mail
cards to the business men of this village and

county fair next fall. This is an important
matter and should meet with hearty re-
sponse. Let there be a full attendance
Everyone should remember that if his pres

would not have been asked to come. IL is
for the interest of every man that our fairs
should not be discontinued.

forthwith proceeded to some secluded and

Correcting Mistakes.

A mistake occurred in last yeek's issue in
the announcement of the result of the Quack
enbush ct al. trial, which we wish to correct
this week. AS il appeared, our readers
might be led to believe that the light SEN
tence was due to the leniency of Judge Mills.
The facts are these: After the evidence of
the prosecution had all been taken, Merrill
and Bradley were discharged, and the court
was about to proceed with the trial of
Quackenbush on the original charge, when
the defendants counsel proposed 10 Prose
cutting Attorney Chandler that Quackenbush
would plead guilty to assault and battery.
Mr. Chandler, for reasons of his own, saw tit
to accept this proposal, and Judge Mills, in
his charge to the jury, laid great stress upon
the fact that he considered the evidence suf
ficient to convict the prisoner of the charge
of assault with intent to do great bodily
harm. However, as assault and battery had
been accepted by the prosecution, the full
extent-ninety days in Ionia and 800 fine
was imposed.-Ddy Spring.
In attempting TO correct what it consid-
cred to be mistake, the Day Spring has
fallen into more grievous error. Prosecut-
ing Attorney Chandler, il is true, did accept
a plea of guilty of assault and battery, but he
did it with the full consent and appreciation
of the court. Judge Mills did not, in his
charge to the jury, "lay great STRESS" etc,
for the reason that the case did not 90 to the
jury at all and no charge was made to them.
They were not charged but were discharged,
and that before Judge Mills said anything
about the evidence in the case. The Judge
did not "lay great stress upon the fact that
he considered the evidence sufficient to coli.
vict the prisoner of the charge" He did
not express himself in any such language
but, In his remarks while passing sentence,
he intimated that the prisoner might con-
slider himself fortunate in getting off so
easily, as il was by no means certain that the
jury might not have convicted him of the
more serious offense charged. Judge Mills
never constitutes himself both Judge and
jury, but contents himself, as all good judges
do, with administering the law and leaves
the jurors themselves to judge of the facts.

The Diamond.

Nine and six are fifteen, and that was the
number of persons who took part in a game
of hard scrabble" at the ball grounds last
Friday afternoon. Rotten is no name for
the game which was played between six
picked men and nine of the culls, resulting
in victory for the six, the scores running so
high that space forbids us to give them.
At the beginning of the game the fleshy
short stop of the six caught fly on the end
of his bugle causing the claret to flow quite
freely, but after passing handful of keys up
and down his spinal column and crowding
quire of paper into his mouth, Seth consid-
cred himself to be in good shape.
The next feature of the game was col
lision at first base in which the captain of
the six was Bang(s)ed against the hardware
merchant which resulted in dislocated knee
for the tall captain. Jimmy felt sorry until
he found Bangs had ten-dollar-a-week ac-
cident policy
Another good feature of the game was a
remarkably fine play made by the second
baseman, which showed his wonderful fore
thought and strategy. Standing on the line
between first and second, he stopped to
grounder and was obliged to step aside
let the base runner pass and then he delib.
erately tossed the ball to second where, if it
had arrived few seconds earlier, the runner
would have been declared out. Fred makes
some brilliant plays.
And last, but not least, was the remarka-
BILE manner in which some of the players
"beefed' at the decisions of the umpire.
Wood it not be better and more in accord
ance with the laws of the game (even if he
is little off to abide by the ruling of the
umpire? Or is it understood that We al
Ways kck?"
A matched game is advertised to take place
at the fair grounds tomorrow afternoon
between the Paw Paw and Decatur clubs.
Some fine playing may be reasonably ex
